Celebrating 10 Years of Healing Springs Ranch — A Decade of Transforming Lives Quick answer: Healing Springs Ranch is a Joint Commission–accredited residential treatment center on a private 80-acre ranch in Tioga, Texas, that specializes in dual diagnosis: treating addiction together with the depression, anxiety, trauma or other mental health conditions that drive it. Houston clients typically take a short flight to DFW or Dallas Love Field, where we provide complimentary pickup.
What is dual diagnosis treatment, and why does it matter?
Dual diagnosis means a person has both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder or PTSD. The two are tangled together: drinking or drug use often starts as a way to cope with the other condition, and each makes the other worse.
Programs that treat only the addiction, or treat the two separately, often see clients relapse, because the underlying condition was never addressed. Effective dual diagnosis treatment treats both at the same time, with the same clinical team.
Why do Houston families travel to Healing Springs Ranch?
For many Houston families, leaving the city is part of what makes treatment work. Distance creates a clean break from the people, places and pressures connected to the addiction, and it protects privacy for families with a professional or public profile.
- Integrated care for complex cases. Our Integrated Wellness Model treats substance use, mental health and trauma as connected. We routinely accept clients with complex co-occurring diagnoses that other residential programs decline.
- Trauma resolution, not just trauma-informed care. Our clinicians use approaches including Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT), alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
- A real clinical team. Master’s-level licensed clinicians, psychiatry and a dedicated nursing team.
- Privacy. A private 80-acre ranch, far from Houston social and professional circles.
Families come to us from across Greater Houston, including River Oaks, Memorial, West University Place, The Woodlands, Sugar Land and Katy. For more on why Houston families choose private treatment away from the city, see Private Rehab for Houston Residents.
How do Houston clients get to the ranch?
Most Houston clients take a short flight from Bush Intercontinental or Hobby to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport or Dallas Love Field. Our team provides complimentary pickup from either airport for the drive to the ranch. Driving from Houston takes about four hours.
What does treatment look like?
- A full clinical and psychiatric assessment at admission.
- Individual and group therapy, trauma resolution work, and expressive and experiential therapies.
- Psychiatric care and nursing support for co-occurring conditions.
- Family therapy, with family sessions and support programming through video conferencing, so Houston families can take part from home.
- An aftercare plan for the return to Houston, coordinated with the client’s physician when the client consents.
Residential stays typically last 30 to 45 days, and we also offer partial hospitalization (PHP). We do not provide detox on site; when it is needed, we coordinate medically supervised detox through partner facilities before admission.
Executives and licensed professionals can learn about our Executive & Professional Treatment program, including periodic office time and how we work with professional licensing boards.
